ALYSSA BOONE (she/her) is a dancer and choreographer in Seattle, WA. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Western Michigan University with a BFA in Dance in the Spring of 2019. While at school, Alyssa performed works by Paul Taylor, Aszure Barton, Brian Enos, and Joshua Manculich, working in rehearsal processes with Jonathan Alsberry, Tobin Del Cuore, and Brett Perry. Since moving to Seattle in the Summer of 2019, Alyssa was selected to work with Kate Wallich to perform excerpts of Industrial Ballet at Seattle’s Broadway Performance Hall. She has received scholarships to attend summer programs at the Joffrey Ballet School under the mentorship of Desmond Richardson and DanceWorks Chicago under the mentorship of Julie Nakagawa. 

Her approach to choreography is informed by innovators of the Concept Art movement, including Andy Warhol, Joseph Kosuth, and Barbara Kreuger. She is interested in exploring how striking visual art concepts can relate to choreographic design. In the Fall of 2018, Alyssa created a surrealist evening-length piece, entitled Wisteria, for which she served as co-director and choreographer in collaboration with various theater designers to create an immersive theatrical-dance production. Most recently, Alyssa has accepted a Creative Residency at Velocity Dance Center as part of “The Bridge Project,” in which she will premiere a new, 20-minute work at Velocity in February of 2020.
